Patent number: 12180429Abstract: A system and process for generating, on-site, a sustained C6+C7 aromatic rich solvent stream for tar solvation within the olefin plant employing a two-fuel oil tower system receiving a hydrocarbon feed from a quench water separator drum, where the two-fuel oil tower system is configured to make a sufficient solvent stream containing C6+C7 aromatic rich hydrocarbons that is recycled and mixed with quench water going to the quench water separator drum to assist in removing tar molecules out of the quench water.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2024Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: KELLOGG BROWN & ROOT LLCInventors: David Sellinger, Rian Reyneke, Quo-Chen Yeh, Alok Srivastava, Kristine E. Hamilton, Michael A. Radzicki, Larry J. Shulik, James R Arnold

Patent number: 4919904Abstract: Disclosed are primary sterically hindered aminoacids for use as promoters for alkali metal salts in acid gas scrubbing. The primary sterically hindered aminoacid is selected from 1-amino-cyclopentane carboxylic acid and those represented by the formula: ##STR1## where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently selected from CH.sub.3, C.sub.2 H.sub.5, and C.sub.3 H.sub.7 ; R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently selected from hydrogen and CH.sub.3 ; and n is 0, 2, or 3.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 1988Date of Patent: April 24, 1990Assignee: Exxon Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Larry J. Shulik, Guido Sartori, W. S. Winston Ho, Warren Thaler, George E. Milliman

Patent number: 4789527Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to an improved process and apparatus for the production of gaseous products such as ammonia by catalytic, exothermic gaseous reactions and is specifically directed to an improved process which utilizes a gas-phase catalytic reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen for the synthesis of ammonia. This improved process for the production of ammonia utilizes an ammonia converter apparatus designed to comprise at least two catalyst stages and a reheat exchanger so arranged as to provide indirect heat exchange of the gaseous effluent from the last reactor catalyst stage with the effluent from at least one other reactor catalyst stage having a higher temperature level in order to reheat the effluent from the last reactor catalyst stage prior to exiting the reactor vessel, thereby facilitating higher level heat recovery from the reactor effluent.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1987Date of Patent: December 6, 1988Assignee: Exxon Research & Engineering Co.Inventors: Robert M. Osman, Larry J. Shulik
